Does it need to be plugged into my TV at all? If so, with what, like HDMI cable, or the red, white, and yellow cords?

This was a gift for someone. I would guess that it does need to be connected to the TV. Don't know what cables it would us.

Yes it needs to be plugged into the tv, unfortunately this model only uses HDMI cables so your going to need one of those. ..

This model only has a HDMI connector so you will need to pick one of those up to connect it to the TV

Not an HDMI cable. It does have the red/white/yellow composite cables, so you can watch right away using those... it just won't be in HD until you buy an HDMI cord. Everything else other than HDMI is included.

Modern TV comes with USB port, and from there it should be connected. All in addition to the connection with the signal cable to TV. A direct answer is :"yes, just the USB. If your TV doesn't had USB port, use an adaptor for the wall outlet.

You need a spare "video out" from somewhere to make it work (the typical yellow, red and white rca plug combination). Either from the cable box, or maybe if you have a surround sound system it could have more than one output. I guess if your tv has a video out block that would work, though I don't think that's typical to have that.

If you're trying to use your existing home stereo than you only need to get a basic VGA cable (red, white, yellow). Just plugin the red/white to the "out" on the television, and plugin the red/white on the other end of the cable into any of the video inputs on your stereo receiver. You only need the red and white because those are the audio, you can leave the yellow unplugged as that is for video. Good luck!Michael

You do have it plugged in correct? The hdmi, rca and the power. I only say that because I was cussing it and the wife goes is it plugged in.... Needless to say I won't live that down for a while

USB powers it. Make sure your TV has a USB slot. If not, plugging it into a USB-supported adapter should suffice.

Ours is hooked up to our computer, thru hdmi cord. We watch netflix, hulu, you name it! Be sure your video card is substantial enough to run it.

The TV has HDMI's inputs, as do most of the recent cable boxes. That's a single wire connection. Other choices are component video as well (these red/green/blue/audio connections are also usually available on your cable box).

if the tv has the rca connections then yes no hdmi required but you have to have the hdmi cable for this to work

You plug the small receiver into the multi av cord input, so the red and yellow cord options go into the back if the tv... Very easy.

It does have to be plugged into your TV but not right? next to it, If you don't mind cords going across the room I don't know

You can use the audio cord supplied, or you can use the optical cord which newer hdtv's have. I used the optical cord on my setup (before I sent it back) and it worked fine. The other audio connections are the standard audio connections you use to plug up to any stereo system, dvd player, etc.

I typically used a standard mini plug to RCA. The mini plug comes with 3 stripes and links 3 color coded red, white and yellow RCAs. This one does not have HDMI connector from what I know...

Yes. It comes with an RCA (red, white & yellow TV connector) cord. That's how I plugged it into our TV and it works great.

No, it connects by included cord-- round with prong in the center -- to the ANTENNA IN (CABLE IN) input on the back of the TV. HDMI outlets remain free & available for your components (Roku, Wii, etc.)
